New Zealand Spectator, AND COOK'S STRAIT GUARDIAN. Saturday, July 22, 1848.

By the recent arrivals we have received Sydney papers to the 28th June ; they do not contain later European news than has been previously received : as any additional information, however, relating to, the late revolution in France at this important crisis, cannot fail to prove highly interesting, we have reprinted, without abridgment, an account of the last sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, and two very able articles from the Times, -on. the Revolution and Provisional Govern meat in France, in which that Journal appears to consider a European war, "imminent. At Sydney the Legislative Council was dissolved at the close of the session, on the

20tK June, by Sir C. Fitzroy, by commission, after having lasted five years. A public dinner was given June 26th, to Colonel Despard and the officers of the 99th regiment, on the occasion of their leaving Sydney for Van Diemen's Land, at which Ifir. E. D. Thomson, the colonial secretary, presided, the Attorney- General and Mr. Thacker officiating as croupiers ; the dinner was attended by the principal officers of Government, merchants, and other residents.

We have recently seen a number (June 6, received overland) of a new weekly journal established at Auckland, under the title of the Anglo-Maori Warder, which, judging from this specimen, appears to.be well printed and conducted. It contains a notice of the journals of the Southern Province to 6th .May, and a full report of the trial of Burns for the murder of Lieut. Snow arid family, which we have previously given from the Southern Cross. The last column of the Warder is- in the Maori language. The Maid of the Mill, which arrived yesterday by way of Taranaki, brings no Auckland mail. In fact,' since the arrival of H.M.S. Fly, in the early part of April, no regular mail has been received in this settlement from Auckland ; for the few letters lately casually received overland hardly deserve this appellation. In noticing the want of communication between Auckland and the Southern Provinces, the Nelson , Examiner proposes that letters for Auckland should be sent from Nelson via Sydney; but the opportunities of communicating with Auckland by vessels from Wellington are tolerably frequent ; our grievance — and it is a strious one — is we so seldom hear from Auckland: for the most part our news from the capital of New Zealand is received via Sydney.
